Android has always been better when it comes to customization, the amount of customization that Android offers at different levels is just insane when compare with other mobile operating systems out there in the market like Apple's IOS or Other Mobile-based OS like ubuntu touch or Debian based 'Mobian'. We can alter our android to make it look and behave like whatever we want, all we need is a few applications and tools which we can easily find on the internet. So, let's start our android customization journey without any further delay.

The Wallpaper

Wallpaper is the most visible part of your home screen setup, and wallpaper plays a very important role in giving your phone a particular type of look. Like if you need a funky home screen you'll go with colorful neon wallpapers, whereas if you need a minimal home screen setup you'll need a simple wallpaper with a very less amount of clutter and a simple look.

The Launcher

Launchers are the most important part of your home screen setup. what's a launcher? you might ask...
A launcher, as the name suggests, is an application/tool that helps your android to sort and launch applications present on your phone. The launcher app that comes by default with your phone is not so customizable. So, what we will do to add customization functionality to the phone is use a third-party launcher app.

Now that we know what we need in order to make our android Homescreen look good, Let's move on to the part that all of you were waiting for...

The setups

To get a complete setup up and running on our home screen we can either, go and make custom widgets then set up everything manually which is not everyone's cup of tea because it is complicated as well as time-consuming. So, How do we set up our home screen? We can use pre-built setups and then give them a few edits according to our needs in order to make them our own. Where to find the setups? 
Here are a few apps that we can use to find home screen setups,
